Supplemental articles of incOrpora-
ton were filed by the Oregon Railway
4 Navigation Company Tuesday in
the Office of the Clerk Of Multnomah

enabled to construct aud equip 4 large
amount of new road, including lines
as follows: From Centervillc to the

from Wallula, in a nOItherly and east
erly direction and following the course
of the Columbia and Snake rivers to
Lewiston, thence in generally easter
ly direction along the Clearwater river
to the Bitter Root Mountains, thence
by the most feasible route across the

being so thick one could not see more
than thirty feet ahead. Neither cap
tain saw the other until they were al
most together, when the Mastick blew
two whistles, but before the HdyWdrd
could answer and change her course
the former struck the latter on he
starIoard side, breaking her guard ant;
staving in the woodwork slightly.
The Hayrard's damage is estimated
at 5000, while the Mdstick is Un-l

The breaking Of crank-pin on the
steamer Eliza anderson, while on a
trip from Vancouver, b. c., to Seattle,
Saturday evening, played havoc with
her machinery. Two large cast iron
steam pipes connected with the en-
CINE broke short off, the walking beam
was cracked in several places, and
other damage done to the engine and
machinery. The fireman escaped Il
horrible death almost miraculously
He had just finished shoveling coal
into the furnace before the accident,
and at the time the steam pipes burst
he was climbing on deck to get some
fresh air. Had he been in the fire
room he surely would have been
scaldcd to death The damage is esti-
mated at $4,000, and it is doubtful
whether the Washington Co., her
owners, will order repairs, as the boat
is one Of the oldest i'll service on the
Coast The new steamer Printer will
take the place OF the anderson.

EDITOR STANDARD: regret the
necessity of replying to "a Card"
signed by A. B. Woodland and r. c..
Van Epps, and published in your pa
per Of the nth inst. but, In self
justification, am compelled to do so.
After the resignation of Prof. Dixon as
Principal of our schools, 1 called on
Mr.. Van Epps, and suggested the
propriety of placing Miss Freeman in
charge of the room, not as principal,
but on an equality with other teachers,
and thereby save $50 per month to
the district. Upon this condition, he
consented, and remarked that l had
better see Mr.. Woodland. A short
time thereafter, ! met Mr.. w. and
made known my business. We talked
the matter over freely and when in
formed that it was the intention to
= ace Miss Freeman on square
equality with other teachers, he did
not hesitate to give consent, provided
the other teachers did not object. /
told him would see the teachers, and
did see them all, except Miss Moore. l
found friendship and good feeling ex-
listing. called during the afternoon
at the family residence to see Miss
Freeman, but she was absent. Imade
known my business to Mr.. Freeman,
Mrs. Jones being present. Mr.. f.
said he could not answer for his
daughter, but thought, as she had ar
ranged to 60 East with him, that prob
ably she would not change her mind.
During the evening of the same day
Mr.. Woodland came to my residence to
see me. He said, Judge, it will
never dol have changed my mind.
l did not give the matter considera-
ton as regards putting Miss Freeman
in the school" Il hope not" I said,
as l have already rendered the room
to Miss Freeman" "Well, l can't
help il" he replied, we want man
for Superintendent, and there will be
meeting of the board tomorrow at
o'clock" l answered that l was
very sorry, as the room had been al
ready rendered Miss Freeman, in good
faith, by me, acting on the consent of
both himself and Mr.. Van Epps. If
Mr.. Woodland had not endorsed the
of Miss Freeman, why
did he hasten TO my residence, in or
der 10 advise me that he chad not
given the matter consideration, and it
wouldn't do at all Why did he
change his mind? 7 cannot-nor can
any one--see the necessity for travel
ing so far to inform me that he had
changed his MIND And vet, Mr..
Woodland signed his name to" A Card"
denying having authorized me to
tender the room t. Miss Freeman. 1,
received note declining the appoint-
ment by that lady. which read to the
board at its meeting Neither Of the
gentlemen then denied authorizing
me to tender the room to Miss Free
man. This is plain and truthful
statement of the matter, and no one
but simpleton would suppose that
one director would tender a room to
any person without the approving ac-
ton OF the board l am wiling NV
word shall 60 into the judgment scale
with that of the gentlemen.

DIR. Starkwather.

The Keokuk Qowa) Gate city has
this to say OF DR.. Samuel ID. Stark
wather, lately deceased, SO well known
to many Of our people from several
years residence in this community ::
DR.. Starkwather was % years of age
and was born in Keokuk on May 18th,
1862, the greater portion Of his life
having been lived in this city. Dur
ing 1882 and 1888 he served in the
capacity OF clerk on the Mississippi
rlver packets, after which he read
medicine and graduated from the
Keokuk College of Physicians and
Surgeons. He went to Colorado,
where he engaged in mining, and then
located in Olympia, Washington Ter
ritory. In the Spring Of 1856 he was
appointed Assistant Physician and
Surgeon of the Territorial Asylum for
the Insane at Fort Steilacoom. De-
cline in health compelled him to ten
der his resignation as stated above.
Deceased was the son OF Norman
Starkwather, deceased. He is sur
vived by his mother, two sisters, Mrs.
A. II. Moody and Miss Nellie Stark
wather, and one brother, Ezra Stark
wather, residing at Leadville, Col. He
was young man of large mental ca
pacity, possessed the most desirable
attributes of character, was Of genial
disposition and made fast and warm
friends of those he met in the various
relations and walks of life. Generous
and kind-hearted he was respected by
all. Here in Keokuk, where he was
born and reared and known so well by
the community, his death will be de-
plored with a sincere and spontaneous
sorrow. Amid the mutabilities of an
uncertain existence there is nothing so
sad as the death of n young man or
woman in whom are combined all
that is pure, noble and clevating in
manhood or womanhood. Samuel
Starkwather possessed these qualities,
and no further word of eulogy is
needed for him dead.

BY the change which goes into eff
feet next Monday, the Intelligencer
claims, that Seattle will be made the
central point and headquarters of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Co.
The Olympian, it is said, will take care
of the business between Seattle and
Victoria. The Starr and the Hay
Ward will handle the traffic between
Seattle and the Upper Sound, and the
Idaho will run on the route between
that city and Whatcom. This, that
journal complacently observes, is what
ought to have been done long ago, and
it attributes the change Of policy to the
Union Pacific Railroad Co., whose new
lease gives it extended authority. 1t
seems somewhat strange that a city
which has so persistently resisted the
+" incroachments" of corporate power
should all at once become SO deeply
enamored with a company notable
only for the very qualities it protested
to condemn. The Intelligencer s
filed with fulsome praise of the COM
pany and its managers, which will, if
it is a true index of popular senti-
ment, probably cultivate in an ac-
qnatic procession in honor of its pro-
motors and barbecue to tickle the
pride of its chief manager.

I am acquainted with a man who be-
gan life as a divinity student. An irreg-
ular life has been his bane. He lives by
writing on general topics for the press,
and for q long time has earned $15 a
week by furnishing a clergyman of this
city with his sermons. / nave heard the
discourses read to me in manuscript by
the author, and have often seen portions
of them quoted and credited to the
preacher, who presides over a wealthy
congregation and is in receipt of a hand
some income.
l made the acquaintance of the man
who furnishes this clerical impostor with
his rhetorical ammunition ten years ago
He was then, as he is now, addicted to
drink, but he has always preserved con
siderable personal dignity, and his brill
liant intellect would captivate any one. He
once borrowed some money from me,
telling me the story of his ministerial
employer in excuse. He read me part of
the sermon he had written for that week,
and as l doubted his story l went to the
church on Sunday and actually heard it
preached. A number of times l have
suggested texts to him ard read or heard
afterward of their delivery in the shape
he worked them into. l fully believe the
author, in his assertion that for more
thar a dozen years his patron has never
preached except from a manuscript of his
providing, and that in all that time he
has been obtaining a fine salary from his
congregation under false pretenses.-Al-
